What is OnTargetYoga? And how does it function?

OnTargetYoga is a questionable browser extension that claims to be a useful program for yoga enthusiasts as it supposedly provides users with lots of information about yoga – be its helpful information, videos, articles, and other related-material to yoga. So if you are a user who’s fond of yoga, you must know that this program is actually categorized as a browser hijacker and potentially unwanted program. This isn’t a surprise as it is related to another browser hijacker group known as MyWay. Just like MyWay, once OnTargetYoga is installed, it makes a couple of changes in the settings of the browsers like Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc.
The changes made affect the default search engine, homepage and new tab page of the browser. Take note that these changes can’t be easily reverted back to the previous settings so you will have no choice at the meantime but to use OnTargetYoga. Since the installation of the browser hijacker, you will start seeing ample of ads every time you surf the internet. Some of these ads could lead you to suspicious websites so you need to be more cautious. In fact, this browser hijacker knows almost everything that you’re doing in the web as it monitors all your online activities to gather information so that it can come up with more ads that are both customized and personalize. Needless to say, if you are looking for a way to enhance your browsing experience, installing OnTargetYoga would be a complete mistake.
How does OnTargetYoga spread over the web?
Like most browser hijackers, OnTargetYoga spreads the web via software bundles that are offered on free sharing sites. Meaning to say this program can also be installed on your computer even without your permission. To prevent that from happening, you must always opt for the Advanced or Customized installation setup rather than the quick one.
